Painting in Focus – Summer 2025 @SaatchiArt – Seasonally Off, Emotionally On
…much of this whole write-up about Summer 2025, I discovered while writing this very post – a very similar creative path I experience painting. That’s part of what the creative effort does for me – helps me make sense of things I feel but can’t yet explain.

October 16, 2022 – Working Texture and Figures into Compositions I Like, Part 7 : Danseur en Bleu ( formerly Dancing Turquoise ) Completed in High Key
Though uniformly high key nearly to a fault – even the 9 year old grandson said maybe I needed to add some darker colors 😊 – I’m declaring this work done! I explained to the grandson I totally agreed, but….

I only painted a few minutes, ten or so, after mixing matte gel medium and a touch of acrylic rose, and I could only do it because I’m hopeful!

It’s been since July 08, 2022 since I first posted about this work-in-progress, and it’s actually was begun late June with the pencil sketch of the woman dancing! Here’s a comparison with the 1st actual painting lay-in from early July —

Yesterday’s post proved a good omen, as I did manage to frame & wire and have my framed original accepted for display at the Old Bakery and Emporium here in downtown Austin across from the State Capital!

It’s nearly ten, time for bed, but I want to follow-up on yesterday’s post showing my newest figure work in-progress, and continue the comparison to figure work since late last year and from right before our move beginning of summer ( 2022 ).

July 07, 2022 – Working Texture and Figures into Compositions I Like, Part 1 : Using a Full Figure Outline
Today I came closest to my full exercise schedule before our move to our new apartment, and yes, it wore me out, lol! But in a good way 😊 Still, it’s past 8:30 pm, and I almost didn’t get any painting in, but thankfully, did do a bit of in-lay texture dabbling ( not shown…

June 13, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, “Blue with Gold Twilight Poster”
Barely released to Fine Art America ( FAA ) last week, Blue with Gold Twilight Poster jumped easily to most viewed for the week! Maybe not so surprising, since the original acrylic on stretched canvas itself was most viewed FIVE weeks running when 1st uploaded to FAA!!

Nice to write this post today ( Saturday ) for tomorrow, showcasing my most viewed image at Fine Art America for a week recently – and – deliver prints of this poster to Primal Gallery near Dripping Springs ( just west of Austin ).

Tomorrow ( Saturday ) I’ll be taking copies of these, plus some other new posters, to Primal Gallery just west of us here in Austin & gotta go early ’cause of both the weekend traffic and near or above 100 degree temps, whew! 😊

June 02, 2022 – “Morning’s Promise” : Completed, After 2 Days of Finishing Touches
A different kind of textural experiment for me, as most the painting’s pigments were laid in with generous amounts of either transparent white acrylic, heavy matte gel acrylic or both. With sprinkles of marble dust here and there 😊

May 31, 2022 – Working My Art Slowly Since #Uvalde – “Morning’s Promise” Still In-Progress, Feels Close to Finished
There is a persistence in hope, and if we are to live a life worth living, it seems we must persist, we must hope – and – we must act.

A from-the-ground-up creation of Primal Gallery owner Joe Lednicky, the atmosphere was hopeful while conversations bubbled and rolled round the large interior.

May 17, 2022 – I Have a Lot of Happenings ( art & personal ) This Week, But Still Finding Moments To Start a New Painting : Morning’s Promise
It’s nice to dance the surface of my canvas as needed. And able ☺️ And right now, a light step, at an easy pace, may give me the time – and energy – to get more than a handful of other needed things also done this week. Not a bad compromise. For now 😊

May 16, 2022 – New Diptych : “Freedom” Almost Finished, Panels Need Signing ( front & back )
And what I’ve come across figuring out how to make prints of this that folks can work with, ie, close to or within standard size dimensions, was how to get a 22×28 image convert into – in 2 examples – an 8×10 or 12×18, and I came up with this as a starting prototype….
-
May 15, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, “Spring Rising”
I’d done a lot of deep or darker night-like paintings for a bit, so it felt pretty nice to lighten up my palette for awhile. Working back & forth, from the two approaches – playing the potential good from both approaches seems to suit my Libra middle, lol!
-
May 12, 2022 – Updated My #Twitter Header Image and Pinned Tweet
Though Twitter’s future is up in the air, or ether, or virtual landscape; and my own “footprint” there and social media in general is micro-whatever, lol! — it’s still my micro existence, and I want to care for it best I can 😊

May 10, 2022 – BW Impressionist Abstract 1, Completed!
A few posts back, about a new diptych in-progress, Freedom, in the 2nd 1/2 of the post, I mentioned having another in-progress work, BW Impressionist Abstract 1, that the 9 year old ( our youngest grandchild ) said he really liked, but wanted more “gold” in it, and pointed out where & how much more…
-
May 07, 2022 – New Diptych : Freedom, 1st Inlay
Continuing yesterday’s them of simplicity – some days simple being good 😊 – I decided to try a simplified polyptych, a two panel diptych with minimal over-all imagery, though of course open to extended nuancing of some or any portion of the the color fields.
-
May 05, 2022 – New 22×28 Inch #Acrylic #AbstractArt Upload @FineArtAmerica – “Spring Rising”
At 22×28 inches, canvas on stretcher bars, Spring Rising is one of my relatively larger abstract works so far, not counting my multi-canvas panel abstracts, or polyptychs as I’ve found out they’re also called.

May 04, 2022 – “Spring Begins” 22×28 #AcrylicPainting, Touched Up, Signed & Finished!
Feeling a bit better again today ( Tues, May 03, 2022 ) I finished touching up a new 22×28 acrylic on stretched canvas – Spring Begins, even if it did feel like 1st day of Summer! 😊

A sleepy multi-nap afternoon, one 15 minute exercise early, and a touch of painting was my day, lol!

April 27, 2022 – Aging Gracefully : Finding a Blogging Solution When My Days Are ( mostly ) Spent Exercising, Painting and Relaxing with Sheila
When I was younger, say even a 11 years ago when I started this blog, I had enough energy there really wasn’t a question of “enough time” or “energy” – I simply, correctly, assumed I’d be able to squeeze in the time to do all the things I wanted or felt I needed to do.

April 23, 2022 – Updated My “See and Buy My Art” Page to Include Primal Gallery in Dripping Springs, Texas
Today ( Friday, April 22 ) has been a long day of chores, but I did do a lay-in for a potential new yellow abstract ( I say potential ’cause I’m not as sure as usual where this one’s going, lol! ) – and – updated my See and Buy My Art page / post…

April 22, 2022 – Delivering More New Art to Primal Gallery in Dripping Springs (west of Austin) – a New Diptych ( #Dawn ) + Prints
Joe ( Joseph Lednicky ), the owner (who is evidently literally building this gallery from the ground up, expressed interest in also seeing / carrying some of my prints, plus seeing my newest multi-panel work, Dawn, live – so I very happily obliged 😊

April 21, 2022 – Delivering New Art to Primal Gallery in Dripping Springs (west of Austin)
An artist friend of mine who worked in The Old Bakery & Emporium for a long time and recently retired to do more art, Kay Hughes, told me about this new gallery opening up in the near Hill Country west of Austin – Primal Gallery!

April 20, 2022 – Started a New Diptych : Dawn, Declaring It Done
Working on this painting this morning, adding varying depths of blue and black, here and there, in crevices and ridges and along the edges of textured matte expanses, I felt very strongly trying to force in any degree of red, or even pink, would just not work for me.
-
April 19, 2022 – Started a New Diptych : Dawn ( or Desire at Dawn ), 1st 2 In-lays
…about this new in-progress work : It’s tentatively titled Dawn, or Desire at Dawn – if I figure out how to work in some red or pink in a way I’d like, with the feeling of the beginnings of something, like embers; maybe suggestive of those kindling moments before one is fully aware – then…

April 18, 2022 – Birth of an Atom, New Acrylic Diptych, Part 2 ( now finished! )
I debated strengthening the dark passages on the left side panel to more closely match the right panel, but decided an arbitrary balancing, vs an asymetrical wave motion across the 2 pieces, would hurt the full image more than help. As a libra I tend to want to balance, over-balance at times, everything, lol!
-
April 14, 2022 – Birth of an Atom, New Acrylic Diptych ( almost finished! )
Using my last pair ( I think I have one black gesso panel left ) I had on / off fun between chores working up Birth of an Atom. Paint is slashed here and there across between the 2, sometimes seamlessly, sometimes….
